Checking Cable and Splice
1. Submerge cable and splice in steel barrel
of water with both ends out of water.
2. Set ohmmeter selector on RX100K and
adjust needle to zero (0) by clipping
ohmmeter leads together.
3. After adjusting ohmmeter, clip one
ohmmeter lead to barrel and the other to
each cable lead individually, as shown.
4. If the needle deflects to zero (0) on any
of the cable leads, pull the splice up out
of the water. If the needle falls back to (∞)
(no reading) the leak is in the splice.
5. If leak is not in the splice, pull the cable
out of the water slowly until needle falls
back to (∞) (no reading). When the needle
falls back, the leak is at that point.
6. If the cable or splice is bad, it should be
repaired or replaced.
